keeping sport auto in 2nd
From time to time when I drive the sport auto in my usual full manual mode, the auto stays in 2nd gear when i come to a complete stop. Yes, virtually always, it drops to 1st, but every so often it' ll remain in 2nd. Which begs the question, could there a trick to keep the tranny in 2nd when coming to a stop at say a red light or a slow rolling stop...

The loaner E90 Msport I currently have only drops down to 2nd gear at complete stops. It is a Sport Auto transmission as well. To ever get it back to 1st gear I have to shift it manually. |

Noticed the same thing, occasionally it stays in second. Slow rolling stops might have something to do with it.

I just push my shifter to the left and it shows the gear it's in rather than "D". Shows S then the gear next to it (e.g., S2, S5) |

yes i have control issues and im ocd. smooth go pro if u like.
I dont like when the car shifts to, surprise, 1st gear and i hit the gas with 2nd gear vigor. especially if i dont need first at all at the time. And no D doesnt show the gear sadly would be nice to undertand the tranny logic or lack there of. |

Push the shift lever in to the left it will say M1-M8 that gives you full control in Sports mode, However the car will auto shift before hitting Redline to obviously protect the engine.
